After Friday night services and on Shabbat morning after services, we come home, often with guests, make kiddush (blessing over wine), and have a leisurely multi-course Shabbat meal including singing and words of Torah. Customarily, that week's Torah-reading (parsha) will be a topic of conversation; and the children of the family will have a chance to speak of what they've learned in school.
1) These are necessary at Shabbat and festival meals: bread and wine. Slightly sweet, braided challah-bread is customary; as is sweet red wine.
2) These are long-established customs: fish (typically gefilte fish, and especially at the evening meal); and cholent at the morning meal. Cholent is a slow-cooked stew of barley, meat and beans, with other ingredients to taste, but each family adjusts the basic makeup of the cholent as they wish.
3) These are common: soup at the evening meal; especially chicken soup (that's the famous "Jewish chicken soup" with its reputed healing-properties). Egg salad with chopped onions, and/or chopped liver.
4) Other dishes, including dessert, will vary according to family or community habits and taste.

As many as you think you'll need. Two is the MINIMUM required for the ritual blessing at the beginning of each Shabbat meal, whether or not they'll be needed for the meal. Note that all the baking is done ahead of time, well before Friday night, since there's no cooking or baking once Shabbat begins.

What do the Jews do on the shabbat at home?
Shabbat dinner on Friday Evening is usually the most elaborate meal of the week. Observant Jews will light shabbat candles at home just before sunset, and begin the meal with kiddush, a special prayer and blessing over wine and bread. The bread is frequently challah, specially baked for Shabbat. If there is not a communal Shabbat kiddush luncheon in the synagogue, Shabbat lunch at home may be more ornate than the usual lunch, either with cold leftovers from dinner, or special dishes like cholent that are slow cooked overnight. At the end of Shabbat, there is a special prayer and ritual called Havdallah that divides Shabbat from the mundane days of the week. All of the Shabbat religious services can be held in the home for Jews who do not go to the synagogue for communal services.
What is a shabbat meal?
After Friday night services and on Shabbat morning after services, we come home, often with guests, make kiddush (blessing over wine) and a blessing over two loaves of bread, and have a leisurely multi-course Shabbat meal including singing and words of Torah. Customarily, that week's Torah-reading (parsha) will be a topic of conversation; and the children of the family will have a chance to speak of what they've learned in school. Eating the traditional Shabbat meals is a mitzva (a Torah-precept), to which the sages of the Talmud (Shabbat 117b) found an allusion in the Torah (Exodus 16:25).

What ritual do jewish people follow on friday?
Sunset Friday evening is the start of Shabbat (the Sabbath), so typical rituals Friday afternoon include making challah (special bread, usually braided) for Shabbat dinner, and part of this is "taking challah," removing two balls of dough, the size of large marbles, and tossing them in the back of the oven to be burned after saying a blessing. No later than just before sunset, the Shabbat candles are lit, with a blessing. Traditionally, this and "taking challah" was the woman's obligation. After the candles are lit, the meal begins with Shabbat Kiddush, a blessing over the wine, and then over the challah. The challah is usually covered with anything from a napkin to an ornate challah cover during the blessing over the wine "to keep it from being embarrassed." If a family can only afford meat one meal a week, tradition says they should eat that meat for their Shabbat dinner, but this does not demand meat at the Sabbath, it merely asks that the Shabbat dinner be the best meal of the week. If you're going to splurge one meal a week, this is it. After the meal, since it did contain bread, the longer grace after meals is said, with Shabbat additions. (the tradition has shorter graces after meals with no bread, and even shorter forms if the meal has no grain products at all.) In addition, there are communial Erev Shabbat (Shabbat Eve) services. Traditionally, only men are obligated to attend these. The Erev Shabbat service may be before dinner, frequently combined with a Friday afternoon service, or it may be after dinner. The time of sunset swings wildly for those not living near the equator, so some communities do things differently in the summer and winter.
In a Jewish Sabbath meal what do they eat and what are the prayers and the sacrifice?
During the Shabbat evening meal, the tradition is to have a large meal with at least two types of meat (unless the people are vegetarians). The prayers said are the blessings over the candles, the challah, and wine. After the meal the Birkat Hamazon is chanted to give thanks. There is no sacrifice.
